We need wisdom for success that addresses the pattern of the wave!

The wave describes the inevitable up-and-down pattern of life. Self-help success teachings usually seem to imply that there is a way to skip the lows, the falls, the losses and just rise right to the top. But that just leads to disappointment. We need wisdom for success that guides us through the disappointments, and also through the triumphs.

Losing is unavoidable and winning is never enough. True wisdom for success shows us how to lose, so the loss turns into a win, and how to win in a way that does not set us up for a fall.

Believing that you should always succeed brings you down all the harder and demonstrates a need for greater wisdom. Success is the product of both winning well and losing well.

When you understand and accept the inevitable up-and-down cycles of life, you can maintain your emotional balance and respond more constructively to whatever happens. That defines true wisdom for success.

True wisdom for success shows us how to go through the ups and downs, not how to avoid the downs. Life's "downs" are unavoidable, but they offer a great opportunity to develop your fortitude, your focus, and your faith.

True wisdom for success helps you turn life's wave into a spiral. A spiral is a wave that winds higher and higher. You continue having your ups and downs, but both rise altogether. In other words, things continue going up and down, but the ups and downs rise ever higher.

One very powerful aspect of true wisdom for success has to do with the opportunity for liberation brought by dark times. When your life does not match your expectations or hopes, dismal visions of yourself as a failure may float before your mind's eye. Just let them pass and let them go. By not identifying with them, by letting them flow and letting them go, you gain liberation from the negative self-image.

True wisdom for success advises that you don't latch onto any mental visions of yourself or your circumstances that may prevent you from achieving greater success.
